Christ Church

Christ Church is a church built between 1838 and 1841 by Edward Welch. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof. The church has a seven-bay nave that includes a west steeple, north and south porches, and a small polygonal apsidal chancel, all designed in the Early English style.

The squat two-stage tower is supported by broad pilaster buttresses and features a tall, two-centred arched west doorway with a deep chamfered surround, a hoodmould, and a Gothick panelled door. The second stage of the tower has coupled lancets, and the spire is distinctive, incorporating a tall belfry stage with concave buttresses that are finished as pinnacles, which clasp steep gablets that have stepped triple-lancet louvres with clock faces above them.

On either side of the tower are low shouldered doorways with studded and strap-hinged doors, as well as tall stepped triple-lancet windows. The nave is supported by buttresses and has a parapet with corner pinnacles, featuring a large stepped triple-lancet window in each bay and gabled porches at the sixth bay, with an added vestry on the east side of the south porch. The polygonal apse is also buttressed and has tall three-light windows. All windows are adorned with hoodmoulds that have figured stops, and most retain their original latticed glazing.

The interior has not been inspected but is reported to have galleries on three sides and an open roof with heavy trusses, according to Pevsner.
